Austin Wedding Photographer

Fun and candid photography for unique couples who want their photos to actually feel like them

I’m John

The guy behind the camera

If you like unconventional, honest, friendly, and real photos, I’m your person.

Wedding photos don’t have to look one kind of way. Photos should reflect who you are and tell who you are. You’re unique, so why can’t your photos be? Your story is one of a kind and deserves to be documented in a way that reflects who you are as people and what matters most.

Live in the moment and savor your wedding day because you know your memories will be full of life, personality, and creativity.

Frequently Asked Questions

My photos are made of candid emotions throughout the day. I photograph in a style that is dictated by what the image calls for – sometimes dark and dramatic, sometimes light and fun, but always bold and colorful.

Reserve at least a year in advance with Fall and Spring being the most popular times of year. However, If your wedding is less than a year away, don’t hesitate to reach out and see if I’m available.

To secure your date we will choose a collection, draft an agreement for us to sign, and take care of a 50% retainer amount. Once this is taken care of, your date will be the only event I photograph that day.

While a second photographer is not required one is always recommended and included in packages with more than 7 hours of coverage. To see a full list of packages, please reach out via the contact form.

Over 350 Celebrations as an Austin Wedding Photographer

I was born and raised in another one of those Texas cities, but got to Austin as quick as I could. For the last 10 years I’ve called Austin my home. As the fastest growing city in the country, Austin is known as the live music capitol of the world (over 150 live music venues and 2000 bands!) , has the best BBQ in the nation, SXSW, ACL, and is constantly evolving into something I couldn’t have imagined when I moved here a decade ago. So many people move here for a new experience and end up staying for the love and hospitality of a small town all while being a part of something bigger than themselves. To sum it all up, we in Austin try to stay grateful be different, and always keep it weird.
